Antioquia

The center of Medellín is the vibrant heart of the city, where history, culture, and chaos mix. You will see Botero sculptures in the square, the magnificent Palacio de la Cultura, the monumental cathedral, and lively markets. However, the place seems dirty, with homeless people and pickpockets, so it is worth being cautious.

Comuna 13 was once a symbol of violence and drug wars, but today it is one of the most visited places in Medellín. Colorful graffiti, music, and community projects have transformed this once-feared neighborhood into a vibrant cultural center where its dark past meets the hope and creativity of its residents.
